Photos O'odham honor Zapatistas Galeano

Thanks to Klee Benally for sharing photos of the O'odham event last night in Tucson to support the Zapatistas and honor Galeano, the murdered Zapatista teacher in La Realidad, Chiapas. Photos: Ofelia Rivas, founder of O'odham VOICE agaiinst the Wall, host of the event, speaking. Simon Ortiz, Acoma Pueblo author, poet and professor, reads in honor of the Zapatistas and Galeano.Simon Ortiz told the crowd, "This is the place Indian people are talking about. This is the place. Whether it's Chiapas, Wounded Knee, Sand Creek years ago, or Brazil today. Or Canada where First Nations people resist for the sake of their land, culture, community." Ortiz shared his poems and songs.

National Indigenous Congress

Today is our last day to raise enough funds for the O'odham delegate and I to travel to the National Indigenous Congress in Chiapas. We each need donations of about $300 for the travel costs. The Indigenous Congress is being held near the Guatemala border in the Zapatista stronghold. It begins tomorrow, Aug. 4, 2014. Donations can be made here on the left side at the PayPal on Indigenous Resistance.

World Conference on Indigenous Peoples

Will grassroots people (who are not associated with non-profits) be attending the UN World Conference on Indigenous Peoples in New York? Will they have a voice? Will there be authentic journalists there? Bolivia President Evo Morales will be there and Bolivia is engaged in the planning. But already grassroots activists and authentic journalists are writing, wondering about the travel costs and whether they are invited. They are hoping it will not just be the same non-profits, and the same UN rhetoric which does not result in real change. World Conference Sept 22 -- 23, 2014, New York http://undesadspd.org/IndigenousPeoples/WorldConference.aspx

Indigenous Resistance

Censored News halted publication in May, in solidarity with the Zapatistas, in honor of the murdered teacher Galeano. After the Zapatistas were attacked in La Realidad in May, Marcos announced that the persona of Marcos would "cease to exist." At the same time, I was near death in a hospital in Arizona. Indigenous Resistance now is a collective of authentic writers carrying forward the work of Censored News. If you kill one who voices the truth, thousands more will rise up to carry on. -- Brenda
